June 27, 2014 by Brembo

What's the 'toughest' track in the Verizon IndyCar series?

Brembo Circuit Identity Cards for the IndyCar street and road courses are available to the public on the Friday before each race at www.Brembo.com.

Each Circuit Identity Card graphic includes general characteristics of the track itself (layout, length, number of braking events and turns, percentage of time spent under braking per lap), along with technical information of the key braking zones, such as speeds before/after each brake event, braking time and distance, maximum deceleration Gs experienced by the rider, et al.

In addition, each graphic includes commentary from race engineers and a rating of the circuit's braking severity (hard-Detroit, medium-Sonoma and light-MidOhio) . The web site also includes 'The Best Brakings,' a new feature that illustrates IndyCar's seven toughest braking zones based on five different parameters.

Attached is the Brembo Circuit Identity Card for this weekend's IndyCar races at Houston.
